PREFACE.
This book is the result of the labors of a Committee appointed by the
General Council of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in North America,
and is issued in response to the demand for a Hymnal especial]} 7 adapted
for use with little children in School and Family.
For school purposes, in addition to the hymns, a Service has been pro-
vided, based, as far as practicable for use with little children, on the old
Matin and Vesper Service of the Lutheran Church ; and as it is hoped
that parents will find pleasure and profit in using the book with their
little ones at home, an ample variety of Morning, Evening, and Table
Prayers, and Morning, Evening, and Nursery Hymns has been inserted.
In the preparation of this book the Committee haye, as far as possible,
adhered to the principle of choosing only such hymns and tunes as com-
bine substantial merit with child-like simplicity. In a few instances
indeed, this principle may perhaps have been violated by the admission
of hymns and tunes which may seem somewhat too difficult for little
children. But this has been done only, when under certain subjects,
and in the case of certain metres, a hymn or tune could not be found
that was at once meritorious and simple to the degree that might be
desired. Still, it is believed that the book does not contain a single
hymn or tune that little children can not learn, provided they have a
preface.
faithful, persevering, and patient teacher. Moreover, children should in
early life be made familiar with the best hymns and tunes, as only these
will retain their place and influence, when mere childish pieces, like the
toys of early years, have been laid aside.
Grateful acknowledgment is made to Mrs. Harriet Reynolds Spaeth
and Miss Mary Welden, of Philadelphia, for various hymns translated
from the German ; to the Rev. E. Greenwald, D.D., Pastor of Trinity
Church, Lancaster, Pa., for most of the Opening and Closing Prayers ;
and to the Rev. F. M. Bird, of Lehigh University, for valuable assist-
ance in verifying dates, and in ascertaining, as far as possible, the author-
ship and the correct text of the hymns. In this part of their work, the
Committee have encountered many difficulties. Quite a number of
children's hymns are anonymous publications ; and the special subject
of Juvenile Hymnody has not yet received that careful attention which
makes it possible, in every instance, to determine which of several ver-
sions is the original text.
The Committee have been careful not to infringe upon any copyrights.
If they have however unconsciously done so, and are advised of the fact,
all due acknowledgments will be made in future editions.
Christmas, 1884.
i
SUGGESTIONS.
1. The teaching of hymns and tunes should form a part of " The
Instruction."
2. It is in accordance with ancient usage to use two or three Psalms
at the same service.
3. If possible, the Psalm or Psalms should always be sang.
4. In the Opening and Closing Prayers to be said by the children, the
Teacher should lead.
5. To assist the Teacher, and to save the time for other instruction in
the School, parents should provide themselves with the book, and teach
their children the Service and hymns, and if possible, the tunes, at
home.

Myself anew to Thee,
That as Thou wiliest I may live,

2 It was Thine Almighty arm
Kept me all night long from harm ;
It is only, Lord, by Thee,
That another morn I see.
3 Lo ! the happy light of day
Drives the shadows all away;
Lo! it brings again to sight
All tilings beautiful and bright:
4 White clouds sailing in the air,
Little flowers so fresh and fair;
Greenest fields and rippling streams,
Glittering in the morning beams.
5 Father, keep me all day long
From all hurtful things and wrong;
Make me Thy obedient child,
Make me loving, gentle, mild.
6 Hark ! the birds are singing gay :
Let me sing, as well as they,
Praise to Him who reigns above,
For His mercies and His love. Amen.

Twas Thy hand that all the day
Scattered joys along my way,
downed my life with blessings sweet,
Kept from snares my careless feet.
Take me in Thy holy keeping
Till the morning break ;
Guard me thro' the darkness sleeping,
Bless me when I wake.

May my love to others be ;

Pardon, Lord, through Christ, Thy Son.

Bless me when I wake. Amen.

2 Hosanna! blessed Jesus,
Come in our hearts to dwell,
And let our lives and voices
Thy praise and glory tell.
3 For we who sing Hosanna,
Must like our Saviour be,
In gentleness and meekness,
In love and purity.

4 Hosanna, let this welcome
King out from every heart ;
Draw nigh to us, O Jesus,
And never more depart.
5 So when we see Thee coming
With angels in tire sky,
Hosanna ! loud Hosanna !
Shall be Thy children's cry. Amen.

2 Alleluia Ave sing, like the children bright,
With their harps of gold, and their raiment white,
As they follow their Shepherd with loving eyes
Through the beautiful valleys of Paradise.
3 Hosanna we sing, for He bends His ear,
And rejoices the hymns of His own to hear;
We know that His heart will never wax cold
To the lambs that He feeds in His earthly fold.
4 Alleluia we sing in the Church we love,
Alleluia resounds in the Church above ;
To Thy little ones, Lord, may such grace be given,
That we lose not our part in the song of heaven. Amen.

2 He; came down to earth from heaven,
Who is God and Lord of all,
And His shelter was a stable,
And His cradle was a stall ;
With the poor, and mean, and lowly,
Lived on earth our Saviour holy.
?> And, thro' all His wondrous childhood,
He would honor and obey,
Love and watch the lowly maiden
In whose gentle arms He lay;
Christian children all must be
Mild, obedient, good as He.
4 For He is our childhood's Pattern,
Day by day like us He grew,
He was little, weak and helpless,
Tears and smiles like us He knew :
*=#=^
And He feeleth for our sadness,
And He shareth in our gladness.
5 And our eyes at Jast shall see Him,
Through His own redeeming love,
For that Child so dear and gentle
Is our Lord in Heaven above;
And He leads His children on
To the place where He is gone.
6" Not in that poor lowly stable,
With the oxen standing by,
We shall see Him ; but in Heaven,
Set at God's right hand on high ;
When like stars II is children crowned
All in white shall wait around.

And that they might His crown of glory share,
Wore crown of thorn.

2 Yes, we know the story well ;
Listen now, and hear us tell
Every girl and every boy,
Why the angels sing for joy
On the Christmas morning.
?> Shepherds sat upon the ground,
Fleecy flocks were scattered round,
When a brightness filled the sky,
And a song was beard on high
On the Christmas morning.
4 " Joy and peace !" the angels sang;
Far the pleasant echoes rang;
I-
" Peace on earth, to men good-will ;"
Hark ! the angels sing it still
On the Christmas morning.
5 For a little Babe that day
Cradled in a manger lay,
Born on earth our Lord to be;
This the wondering angels see
On the Christmas morning.
G Joy our little hearts shall fill,
Peace and love, and all good-will ;
This fair Babe of Bethlehem
Children loves, and blesses them
On the Christmas morning.

I'm glad my blessed Saviour
Was once a child like me,
To show how pure and holy
His little ones might be ;
And if I try to follow
His footsteps here below,
He never will forget me,
Because He loves me so.
3 To sing His love and mercy
My sweetest songs I'll raise ;
And though I cannot see Him,
I know He hears my praise ;
For He has kindly promised
That even I may go
To sing among His angels,
Because He loves me so.

2 Rolls the heavy stone away
From the tomb where Jesus lay,
Over Death victorious ;
Forth in radiant majesty
From the grave's captivity
Comes the Saviour glorious.
3 When the sun expels the night
From the plain, and mountain-height
Tips with rosy gleaming,
Then the Sun of righteousness
O'er this world's unhappiness
Sheds His joyous beaming.
So into your hearts of sin,
Children, let Him enter in
At your life's first morning,
That with beams of light divine
Be through all your lives may shine
Till the heavenly dawning.

2 Arms of love around her throw,
Shield her safe from every foe,
Comfort her in time of woe :
We beseech Thee, hear us.
3 Keep her life and doctrine pure,
Grant her patience to endure,
Trusting in Thy promise sure:
We beseech Thee, hear us.
4 May she one in doctrine be,
One in truth and charity,
Winning all to faith in Thee :
We beseech Thee, hear us.
5 May she guide the poor and blind,
Seek the lost until she find,
And the broken-hearted bind :
We beseech Thee, hear us.
C> May she soon all glorious be,
Spotless and from wrinkle free,
Pure, and bright, and worthy Thee:
We beseech Thee, hear us.

In the home Thou dost prepare,
And be ever blessed there :
We beseech Thee, hear us. Amen.

Working Thy gentle will,

When years shall end,
Where saints dwell un defiled,

There near Thy throne to be,
There Thy loved face to see.

2 Jesus is the children's Friend,
Loving, faithful to the end ;
Richest gifts from Him descend,
Joy and peace.
3 Once from heaven to earth He came,
Suffered death, contempt, and blame,
Died upon a cross of shame,
Crowned with thorns.
4 'Twas our sinful souls to save
Thus His precious blood He gave;
Ransomed now from sin's dark grave,
We may sing.
104
5 O what boundless grace and love,
All our highest thoughts above !
Fear and unbelief remove
At the cross.
6 Blessed Jesus, loving, kind,
We would early seek and find ;
And our souls in covenant bind,
Thine to be.
7 For our sins we deeply grieve,
But Thy promise we believe,
"Him that cometh I receive :"
Lord, we come. Amen.

4 Every bird can build its nest;

Had not where to lay His head.
5 He who is the Lord most high,
Then was poorer far than I,
That I might hereafter be

2 Tims He laid His glory by,
When for us He stooped to die ;
How I wonder, when I see
His unbounded love to me.

To the poor He preached the word ;

2 Once He was just the age I am,
And was as helpless too ;
He used to sleep, and walk, and speak,
Just as all children do.
3 And yet, though He was once a child,
He is the God of all ;
And angel hosts before His throne
In lowly worship fall.
108
4 And why was it He chose to be
A child so poor and weak ?
It was that I might learn from Him
How blessed are the meek ;
5 It was that I might learn from Him
My parents to obey,
And, like the Child of Nazareth,
Grow holier every day.

He was so good and gentle,
Obedient, meek, and mild.
4 He had no naughty tempers,

Should be like Christ their Lord;

And has sent His blessed Spirit
To every Christian child.

May come to Jesus as I am,
Though goodness I have none ;
May now be folded on His breast,
As birds within the parent nest,
And be His little one?
3 Others there are who love me too;
But who, with all their love, could do
What Jesus Christ has done?
Then if He teaches me to pray,
I'll surely go to Him and say.
" Lord, keep Thy little one."

And by His mercy gently led
Where living waters run ;

2 O day by day, each Christian child
Has much to do, without, within;
A death to die for Jesus' sake,
A weary war to wage with sin.
3 When deep within our swelling hearts
The thoughts of pride and anger rise,
When bitter words are on our tongues,
And tears of passion in our eyes; —
1 Then we may stay the angry blow,
Then we may cheek the hasty word,
(Jive gentle answers baek again,
And fight a battle for our Lord.
120

5 With smiles of peace, and looks of love,
Light in our dwellings we may make,
Bid kind good humor brighten there,

But has his little cross to take,
His little work of love and praise-
That he may do for Jesus' sake.

2 There's a rest for little children
Above the bright blue sky,
Who love the blessed Saviour
And Abba, Father, cry ;
A rest from every turmoil,
From sin and danger free,
Where every little pilgrim
Shall rest eternally.
3 There's a home for little children
Above the bright blue sky,
Where .Je>ns reigns in glory, —
A home of peace and joy;
Xo home on earth is like it,
Nor can with it compare,
For every one is happy,
Nor could be happier, there.
4 There's a crown for little children
Above the bright bine sky,
And all who look for Jesus
Shall wear it by-and-by ;
127
A crown of brightest glory,
Which He will then bestow
On all who've found His favor.
And loved His Name below.
5 There's a song for little children
Above the bright blue sky,
A song that will not weary.
Though sung continually;
A song which even angels
Can never, never sing;
They know not Christ as Saviour,
But worship Him as King.
6 There's a robe for little children
Above the bright blue sky;
And a harp of sweetest music,
And a palm of victory.
All. all above is treasured,
And found in Christ alone;
O come, dear little children,
That all may be your own.

In this our festal day,
To Thee for precious gifts of grace
Thy ransomed people pray.
3 We pray for childlike hearts,
For gentle holy love,
For strength to do Thy will below
As angels do above.

For hope that never fain Is,
For true communion evermore
With all Thy blessed saints.

Thy face eternally !

Once the Lord of life and love

From His throne in Heaven above.

And she nursed Iliin and she loved Him,
Just as mother loveth you.

Shall I tell you why He came?
That we might become His children,
And be called by His Name.
6 Baby brother, baby brother,
Jesus came, and lived, and died ;
Lived to teach us to be holy,
And for us was crucified.
7 Baby brother, baby brother,
On our brow His cross we wear ;
If we love as He has loved us,
We His own true children are.

Loves us little children still !

How much better thou'rt attended
Than the Son of God could be,
When from heaven He descended,
And became a child like thee !
Soft and easy is thy cradle ;
Coarse and hard thy Saviour lay,
When His birth-place was a stable,
And His softest bed was hay.

Trust and love Him all thy days;

Not a mother's fondest wishes
Can to greater joys aspire.

2 Thou blessed soul, what canst thou fear?
What thing to thee can mischief do?
Thy God is now thy Father dear,
His holy Spouse, thy mother too.
Sweet baby, then forbear to weep ;
Be still, my dear ; sweet baby, sleep.
3 Though thy conception was in sin,
A sacred bathing thou hast had ;
And tho' thy birth unclean hath been,
A blameless babe thou now art made.
Sweet baby, then forbear to weep ;
Be still, my dear ; sweet baby, sleep.
4 While thus thy lullaby I sing,
For thee great blessings ripening be ;
Thine Elder Brother is a King,
And hath a kingdom bought for thee.
Sweet baby, then forbear to weep ;
Be still, my dear ; sweet baby, sleep.
5 Sweet baby, sleep, and nothing fear ;
For whosoever thee offends
By thy Protector threatened are,
And God and angels are thy friends.
Sweet baby, then forbear to weep ;
Be still, my dear; sweet baby, sleep.
6 When God with us was dwelling here,
In little babes He took delight ;
Such innocents as thou, my dear,
Are ever precious in His sight.
Sweet baby, then forbear to weep ;
Be still, my dear ; sweet baby, sleep.
7 A little infant once was He;
And strength in weakness then was
laid
Upon His virgin-mother's knee,
That power to thee might be convey'd.
Sweet baby, then forbear to weep ;
Be still, my dear ; sweet baby, sleep.
8 In this thy frailty and thy need
He friends and helpers doth prepare,
Which thee shall cherish, clothe, and
feed,
For of thy weal they tender are.
Sweet baby, then forbear to weep ;
Be still, my dear ; sweet baby, sleep.
9 The King of kings, when He was born,
Had not so much for outward ease;
By Him such dressings were not worn,
Nor such-like swaddling-clothes as
these.
Sweet baby, then forbear to weep ;
Be still, my dear ; sweet baby, sleep.
10 Within a manger lodged thy Lord,
Where oxen lay, and asses fed:
Warm room we do to thee afford,
An easy cradle, or a bed.
Sweet baby, then forbear to weep ;
Be still, my dear; sweet baby, sleep.
11 The wants that He did then sustain
Have purchased wealth, my babe,
for thee;
And by His torments and His pain
Thy rest and ease secured be.
Sweet baby, then forbear to weep ;
Be still, my dear ; sweet baby, sleep.
12 Thou hast, yet more to perfect this,
A promise and an earnest got,
Of gaining everlasting bliss,
Though thou, my babe, perceiv'st it
not.
Sweet baby, then forbear to weep ;
Be still, my babe ; sweet baby, sleep.
